A Funeral Trend

[mattdantodd]

This year isn't even 7 weeks old yet. And I've already been to four funerals - two of which I've been the officiating minister (on back-to-back Saturdays).

I don't know about you, but funerals really suck out all of my energy. I'm exhausted.

Thanks. Things are going remarkably well. I'm just worn out. That comes with the territory, I guess. I really wanted to say that days like this suck the life out of me, but that somehow doesn't sound very appropriate or sensitive, does it?

You were in a dream of mine last night. Well, not really you, but your voice was...although I've never heard your voice. In it, my wife had read something in one of your posts about something that was going on in your life and she wanted to help. So she either emailed or called you (I can't remember) with some helpful information. You called back and cussed us out because it was some kind of breech of etiquette or something. :-)

It was very strange.

awww.
see, first, i was gonna say "how cool that you're dreaming of me."
but then i read i cussed you out!!! so now, i feel bad! ;)

just know that 1. if your wife were to email or call me to provide helpful info, i'd totally be okay with that. 2. i love random men dreaming of me. ;P and 3. i need to make a voice post sometime soon.

as for "sucking the life out of you"... i personally think it's totally appropriate. but then again, my family is the group that throws rubber ducks at our funerals and tell tasteless jokes as a way to get through. so maybe i'm not so good a judge. :)
